hoa_policy
The rules and restrictions an association applies to the properties it governs.
The question it answers
Will this close cleanly?
Liens, encumbrances, tax position, and association obligations determine whether a transaction completes and on what timeline.
Why it matters
Restrictions are what determine whether a property can be used the way a buyer intends — rental caps, occupancy limits, and architectural controls all bear on value and none of them is visible in the physical record.
Four fields split the rules by what they restrict: leasing, pets, vehicles, and everything else the association governs. Leasing is the one that changes an investment case outright — a minimum stay of six months and an owner-occupied-only rule are different assets at the same price.
The source dictionary carries no definition for this class.
In practice
Each field is a closed enumeration rather than the association's own prose, so a covenant document that says the same thing three different ways resolves to one value. The fees and amenities the same association declares sit in homeowners_association; this class is the rules only.

Provenance and coverage
A record of this class is validated against the same definition whatever jurisdiction it came from, which is what makes two counties comparable without a per-county adapter. A jurisdiction appears below only where a committed configuration serves this class's surface.
